But lying YouTube denies demoting content based on "specific political perspectives".

Outrageous: YouTube recommendations for 'alt-right' videos have dropped dramatically, study shows ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcnet1.cbsistatic.com%2Fimg%2FDx4oaMsxxJhJLSeXmfwMuRzT_os%3D%2F970x0%2F2019%2F02%2F28%2F0a19fd0e-b9a5-4208-91c7-cbf7ac36321f%2Fgettyimages-1088204070

Google has made "major changes" to its recommendations system on YouTube that have reduced the amount of "alt-right" videos recommended to users, according to a study led by Nicolas Suzor, an associate professor at Queensland University of Technology.
During the first two weeks of February, alt-right videos appeared in YouTube's "Up Next" recommendations sidebar 7.8 percent of the time (roughly one in 13). From Feb. 15 onward, that number dropped to 0.4 percent (roughly one in 250).
Suzor's study took random samples of 3.6 million videos, and used 81 channels listed on a recent study by Rebecca Lewis as a starting point. That list includes voices like Richard Spencer, an American white supremacist, but also includes more mainstream voices like Joe Rogan, who does not self-identify as alt-right but often plays host to more extremist voices on his podcast (including alt-right figures such as Alex Jones).
